This splits the Markdown rendering and reference extraction phases into
two distinct code bases. The reference extraction phase no longer relies
on the html-pipeline Gem (and any related code) and allows for
extracting of references from multiple HTML nodes in a single pass. This
means that if you want to extract user references from 200 comments you
no longer need to run 200 times N number of queries, instead only a
handful of queries may be needed.
Every object processed by ExternalIssueReferenceFilter can return a
different Project instance when calling "project". For example, every
note processed will have it's own associated Project. If we were to
cache Project#default_issues_tracker? on Project level this would have
no impact on Markdown rendering timings as the cache would have to be
built for every Project instance without it ever being re-used.
To work around this we cache Project#default_issues_tracker? in
Banzai::Filter::ExternalIssueReferenceFilter using the project's _id_
instead of the whole object. This setup allows re-using of the cached
data even when the Project instances used are different, as long as the
actual project IDs are the same.
These filters now use a single iteration over all the document nodes
instead of multiple ones. This in turn allows variables to be re-used
(e.g. links only have to be unescaped once). Combined with some other
refactoring this can drastically reduce render timings.
